FansUnite Entertainment Inc. applies for two UK gambling licenses

FansUnite Entertainment Inc. is all set to enter the UK gaming arena after its subsidiaries, Askott Entertainment (Malta) Limited and E.G.G. Ltd, applied for both business-to-customers (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) licenses, respectively.

New players in UK’s online casino space

Pending approval by the UK Gambling Commission, FansUnite’s venture into the United Kingdom’s casino and sports betting market only shows the group’s commitment to expanding its footprint in other regulated markets.

The Gambling ACT of 2005 gives the U.K Gambling Commission vested powers to regulate commercial gambling in Great Britain in partnership with licensing authorities.

FansUnite’s application for two specific licenses meshes up well with its plan of catering services to operators and customers in the region. First, the group has applied for remote gambling software licenses that would unlock its portfolio of betting products to casinos in the United Kingdom.

Second, its subsidiary EGG Ltd. has applied for a remote betting license, allowing the firm to establish B2C wagering platforms in the particular gaming market.

Scott Burton, Chief Executive Officer of FansUnite, commented on the company’s application for the two licenses.

“The U.K. gambling licenses are widely regarded as the gold standard for lawful gaming operations and we are pleased to have formally submitted our application with the commission.”

“The first step to our expansion in the U.K. is to obtain the relevant licenses from the country’s Gambling Commission, which will allow us to license our betting solutions as well as operate our B2C betting platforms in the United Kingdom. By doing so, we will be in a position to advance our operations to capture market share in one of the most lucrative online betting markets in the world.”
